I Will

Lying in bed. 

 Can't sleep.

Deciding that misery isn't for me.

Looking for happiness; waiting so patiently.

Hoping I won't let myself down like the force of gravity.

Wondering when all this ends.

Searching for a friend.

Looking up to Thee;

Never questioning His guarantees.

Moving forward from the past.

I'm not going to let this heartache last.

I know where I need

To be

But finding my way there is why I'm in need

Of His company.

These days will continue on

Until I decide that I can be strong.

Days will transpire

And emotional turmoil will expire

With time.

The grime

Will cease to exist

Once I put away my iron fists.

Things will stop the bend

As I mend

My heavy heart and lost soul.

I will soon have control.

Fear will not exist within my being

As I begin seeing

The blessings that have been bestowed.

All of this, I shall soon know.

I will be able to sleep

As I keep

On kneeling at His feet.

And when we meet,

I will be utterly and completely glorified...

All because I was able to identify.

 
I will.

Revisit Elation

I'm letting the wind blow through my hair
And though I care,
I'm trying not to share.
 
I'm walking on rocks that try to defeat
And though it cuts me deep,
I'm not going to let them harm my feet.

I'm listening to words that puncture my wounds
And though I feel alone is this big, dark room,
I'm putting forth effort to not seek doom.

I'm feeling removed
And though I would like to assume,
I know that I still have much to prove.

Too often, I, as a human being,
Stop seeing
The things that cause me fear,
And I begin to put my insecurities in gear.

But I need to surrender
To become a contender,
So my faith will not presume the constant need to render,
Or feel hindered,
Because of my thoughts and doubts,
Which spew from spouts
Of negativity in abundant amounts.

I need to let Him, who sits on mercy seat,
Show me, as I kneel at His feet,
That love can and will be bestowed

If I do not veto

The blessed opportunity to grow.

I need to turn this station
To my salvation.
Where I will then realize that I am His beautiful creation.
With time, I will build a foundation

So I may revisit elation!

Finding Reception

If you put your phone away

For the day,

What would be your saving grace?

Would you notice everyone’s face?

Would your actions be delayed?

If you put the television aside,

Where would your thoughts reside?

Would other things start to matter more?

Would your eyes open doors? 

If you turned the music down,

Would life still have sound?

Would other listen to your actions?

Would love write its own lyrics?

Let’s not fear it! 

Life is meant to be lived,

And people are meant to be loved.

If we invested more time in Him above;

We would discover all that could be,

All that is,

And all that will be.

We could all unite as a people,

And become the tallest steeple. 

Let our priorities become our choice and desires,

So our bosoms may burn with fire!

To Know My Heart...

I began writing poems in middle school and took a liking to it because I found a way to express myself in such a way where I could not only tell my story, feelings, thoughts, etc., but I could illustrate an untold language... One that had never before been uttered: my heart. I am thoroughly blessed for this gift and talent I have developed.
To Know My Heart, is to know the language in which I feel. And that is poetry.

The sole purpose of this blog, is to share my poems and hopefully touch those who read it. I write about a variety of aspects of my life, not just the negative or the lovey mushy stuff.
These poems are completely my own. They have been derived from my own heart and soul.

Forever Written,
Chloe' Sarah Jackson
